Visiting Assistant Professor of East Asian Languages and Cultures
The Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at Connecticut College invites applications for a three year 0.8 FTE Visiting Assistant Professor in transnational and transcultural East Asian studies, who can teach the Chinese language beginning July 1, 2024.
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. or an advanced ABD in East Asian Studies, Linguistics, or a related field at the time of application. Areas of specialization are negotiable, although we are particularly interested in hiring someone who can bring innovative and cutting-edge pedagogy to the wide spectrum of our upper-level Chinese courses. Preferences will be given to outstanding, highly engaging teacher-scholars showing native or near-native proficiency in both Chinese and English, and those who are flexible and accommodating in their course offerings.
Teaching load is four courses per year, including at least two Chinese language courses, other required courses for our majors and minors, and/or electives to be determined by the new hire in consultation with the department. The new member is expected to be an enthusiastic and creative collaborator with colleagues within and beyond the department.
Connecticut College is a private, highly selective institution with a demonstrated commitment to outstanding faculty teaching and research. We recognize that intellectual vitality and diversity are inseparable. The College seeks creative scholars excited about working in a liberal arts setting, with its strong focus on engaged teaching, participation in shared governance, and active involvement in an institution-wide advancement of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
